What makes Westerbork Concentration Camp from Amsterdam by Private Car a unique experience ?
The tour includes private transfers direct from your Amsterdam accommodation, plus the museum entrance fee and the service of the History Expert to guide your private group around the former camp grounds.
Upon arrival at the Westerbork, you will explore the one-half square kilometer area that welcomed more than 102,000 Jews (and other races) on their way to the concentration and extermination camps in Auschwitz, Sobibór, Theresienstadt and Bergen-Belsen. Compared to the camps built for the purpose of industrial murder, Camp Westerbork was considered by Nazi standards as “humane”, yet most of its prisoners, like Anne Frank and Etty Hillesum, didn’t survive the war. During the tour you will learn about the daily life inside the camp, the Judenrat, and cultural activities organized by Nazis. See the original train tracks, the Monument of 102,000 stones, the National Westerbork Memorial, and more.
After a guided walk around Camp Westerbork, you will also have a chance to visit the memorial museum on your own. See a room filled with personal belongings of murdered Jews, the railway carriage sign reading “Westerbork – Auschwitz; Auschwitz – Westerbork”, and other touching exhibitions
